Why aren’t you providing coverage in rural areas to my property?

Our coverage area was defined by drawing a line around high-density urban Christchurch and the other large high-density urban communities within the greater Christchurch area. The agreed coverage area met the Government’s UFB priorities and was commercially viable for us to deploy our network to under the UFB model.

Enable’s coverage area was agreed in line with this aim and our coverage boundary set at the edge of the high-density parts of the towns we are covering.

It is not commercially viable to deploy fibre in rural areas and there are other programmes of work to ensure rural properties get better broadband.
